Chapter 449

But Jordan had it in him, he'd practiced on women, a seductive kiss, a blank promise, and he could get her to leave her current life behind and hit an unpredictable wall.

"Ida, I'm coming to Hustleburg, and I'll see you sometime."

The man's voice was so gentle that Ida was instantly reminded of that night, that kiss, and it was amazing that she remembered it so clearly after all this time.

Her eyes instantly reddened, she was so awake watching herself sink and fall.

"Okay, Jordan."

After hanging up, she took a deep breath and went to get Serena's cell phone.

Serena was sunbathing in her recliner and didn't rush to turn it on.

The early summer sun wasn't as poisonous, it was warm and melting on her body, and she had just fallen asleep when she caught the familiar scent of ink on the tip of her nose.

She opened her eyes to find Oscar sitting on the stone bench next to her, wondering when he had arrived.
